We actually do make quite a few things, but most of which we never get to hear about. What I'm trying to say is that everything being made in China isn't good for workforces in other countries as regards manufacturing. The more China produces and the less other countries produce means more and more control goes to China.

Labour killed engineering in this country.

It was mostly gone before they even got into power....

Unfortunately both Conservatives and Labour have had a hand in the destruction of our industry by not nurturing and investing in the future. Labour just continued with what the Tories had started.
I absolutely detest and depise the 3 main parties.

That cruiser is a weird looking thing!
MCM reviewed the naked version of the 650 and thought the quality was decent, if not quite up to top Japanese standards. They also enjoyed riding it. MCN of course were far less impressed. The tourer looks like a good thing (depending on price) if you want something like that. I guess its a Deauville competitor, albeit without shaft drive.
